It would have been Rogue EX for me, but since the EX is sold out I'd go Cable.

I got the two of them + Magneto (I talk about it because of your avatar picture)

Imho, Magneto is number one on the matter of the presence, the biggest of the 3, the levitating pose, the massive base, you simply can't ignore it.

Concerning Rogue and Cable, I will try to stay as objective as I can, knowing that Cable is my favorite male character.

So concerning Cable, it is an impressive piece, it is a real beast, I didn't find any picture which translate how massive it is in hands. Plus the blue and yellow colors pop, his guns particularly the one that comes through the portal is a monster and while its pose is totally basic it works perfectly for this character. Plus, I'm in the minority but I'm really digging the portals, they are a nice addition to the statue.

Rogue, on the other way, has a stunning flying pose, the circular saw base is beautiful, the colors pop too. It truly is an engineering masterpiece. But I personnaly really hate her collector edition head, I won't ever put it on but if that doesn't bother you, it will be fine.

So my personnal top regarding only the presence of these pieces in a room is : 1) Magneto 2) Cable 3) Rogue.

I hope it will help you a little with your dilemma.

I have issues with Magneto’s anatomy around the chest area. IMO, it does not look right. It’s just too small. They also made way too much Magneto’s out there.

Cables EX is not a must have unless you are a Deadpool fan. It’s a fantastic representation nevertheless.

Though it’s only a Rogue reg, it’s the best one out there. The sculpt is unbelievable and different. It’s one sexy looking statue. I would go with Rogue than Cable. I wouldn’t even put Magneto in this conversation.

You're welcome
And no matter what you choose, you can't loose, all three of them are among the best statues Sideshow has ever produced.

As someone who owns both Mags Ex and Cable Ex I would honestly go Cable over him. First, it's more likely that the Cable Ex would sell out sooner than Mags since the regular is already on Waitlist. Second, its not as dynamic or as popular a character but his sheer size is super impressive. While Magneto is slightly taller (while hovering), Cable has about double the mass if not more. Lastly, if you like mixed media great. If not you can't remove Magnetos cape as its part of his shoulder pads whereas you can leave Cables poncho off if you so choose. Overall you can't go wrong with either.
